7. Difficulty recalling people
For many patients who are developing dementia, it becomes difficult to recall the names of people that they are familiar with.
For instance, a patient might forget the name of his child or grandchild. Once again, this is because of the impact that this degenerative condition has on the neurons in the brain that aid in memory recall. As such, if you are being affected by dementia, you may draw a blank when it comes to remembering someone’s name.
If it’s a loved one, she may not be able to remember what your name is.
